    Tracy loved her children with everything she had. I’m glad she was my friend for over 20 years. I will do anything for her daughters in her honor as long as I am able. I know she’s watching over them in a peaceful place.

    I feel completely cheated out of my chance at having my life long friend. I didn’t know Tracy long at all but her passing has impacted me so deeply. That’s when you know that someone was an amazing person. I admire her leo personality traits the most because they were much like my own. She loved so hard and so sincerely. I will never forget you my friend… never.

    Tracy, I will miss you everyday and regret that I was not there to protect you. I know how hard life has been, no one should ever have to bare the weight we had to. I just wished I could have protected you from the evils of life. Your safe now and I will think about you everyday and always.

    Beyond the average sis-n-law relationship. I was given the beautiful gift of experiencing the one on one compassion, empathetic care (difficultsurgery), and amazing late night deep vulnerable conversations with Tracy when she visited us for a month (20yrs ago). She led & loved with an open heart and had amazing insight. An absolute beautiful human inside & out, I know her energy will surround her 4 beautiful daughters as they go forward on this difficult journey. I am grateful for the time we shared.

    My Mama, my queen. I should have praised her more often. More proudly, publicly, personally, across the board I could’ve done much better by her. I will not regret our time together. I am forever grateful to be her daughter, I am blessed and empowered to have her as one of my closest friendships ever, as well as my beautiful mama. We will be together again, we always do find each other. I miss her very very much, I wish to hold hands and caress faces. Sing good tunes in the car & share our laughter once more. I will cherish every single memory, good or bad I love them all equally. A lesson in each, I am proud of who she is for the growth I witnessed. She has accomplished so much in such little time, truly the embodiment of strength. Truly, she always deserved better. She knew deep down she was more powerful from the other side. Her intentions much too pure for the evils of this world. Beautiful light, snuffed so soon. My mother suffered greatly, her perseverance will be remembered and honored forever and a day. I love you forever and a day my sweet beautiful Queen.
